Shop/wine critic/winery review: Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full-bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy.

My review: When smelling this wine I could smell something of an orange flavor. This wine was had a harsh strong flavor with spices.  I did not have food with this wine.
